nach der natur
kleinode, kunstagenten berlin, studio, münchehofe 2004/2005
installation, animation by dirk holzberg
mdf plates, lacquered, various plastic materials
thickly constructed areas, urban parks, playgrounds, motorways, road city arteries, airplanes and their runways, high mountain
landscapes, grasslands: this is what anke göhring’s basic installation seems to represent. in reality this scene is nothing
more than a composition of doormats, laminate plates, green plastic webs, silver-grey tape, hoses, threads, photos. the
oscillation between reality and fiction provides the central allure of the piece. With meticulous accuracy the artist offers to
the observer a creative story en miniature. what is seen here is a disembodied flight over the precisely arranged coloured surfaces
making up the urban area. the sharp distinction between the greens and whites gives rise to a differentiated material aesthetic,
loaded with a characteristic semantic and breaking down the formula of concrete art, in order to transfer it to something close
to a representation.
